Chapter 2765 The Island Of Despair Is Too Cunning
Nina nodded, reluctant to discuss anything about Pierre.
However, she was still the one who brought up the topic. Nina nodded after Scarlett asked her that question,
hoping it was enough of a reply.
"It's been so many days sincet he's been kidnapped. There's still no news from the kidnappers?" asked Scarlett.
Normally, if the kidnappers were after money, they would have contacted the victim's family to negotiate the
terms for a ransom.
It was unusual for someone like Pierre to be kidnapped without anyone contacting his family.
"No," Nina understood Scarlett's doubt. Kidnappers would usually either ask for ransom or proceed to traffick
them.
It was unlikely for someone as recognizable as Pierre to be trafficked.
When they first heard of Pierre's kidnapping, everyone thought the kidnappers were after the money. Therefore,
they were investigating the case while waiting for the kidnappers' phone call.
However, they have yet to receive any news despite it having been such a long time.
Speople were speculating that Pierre might have offended someone and got kidnapped because of that.
If that was the case, the kidnappers would not be after money, and his life would be in danger.
No one dared to voice such an idea since it was the Mallory family who was involved in this.
Luca flipped through the photo album samples silently.
Abel would contact the Mallory family to ask for the ransom tomorrow. There was finally sprogress.
Luca's hand could not help but tremble with fear at the thought of Amur personally getting the cash from them
himself. She was worried about Amur's safety.
"Luca, why are your hands shaking?" Nina raised an eyebrow as she noticed Luca's hands were slightly
trembling.
"Huh? No," Luca pretended to glance at her hands. Then she smiled. "You must be mistaken. I'm just stretching
my fingers."
Nina was confused. Were her eyes failing her?
She clearly saw Luca's hands shaking earlier. Also, the look on her face showed that she was worried about
something.
Nina felt that Luca could not possibly be worried about Pierre's situation. Hence, she eventually concluded that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe must've misunderstood.
The three of them helped Nina pick her photoshoot style. Nina eventually selected five photo albums that
matched her preferred style.
"Finally, it's done. Thank you, girls." smiled Nina before she glanced at the door of the other private room. "|
wonder how they're doing over there."
"They're probably not done yet. Why don't we sing skaraoke while waiting for them?" winked Scarlett. Since
the soundproofing in the private room was good, the three ladies could sing as loud as they wanted without
disturbing anyone in the other rooms.
So, they started to sing, waiting for the others to finish their discussion.
The moment Nina picked up the microphone, there was a knock at the private room door.
"Have they finished their business?" Nina looked at the two, "Cin."
A waitress pushed in a food cart, "Ladies, | brought you sfruit and drinks."
The waitress then served two plates of seasonal fruits, "Enjoy the fruits. Just ring the bell if you need anything
else."
There was a phone in the private room. They could communicate with the waitress if they needed anything
through the phone.
After the waitress left, Nina walked toward the karaoke machine and turned to Luca and Scarlett. "What songs
would you like to sing?"
"I'm not a good singer. You should sing with Ms. Craw." smiled Scarlett gently. Then, she glanced at luca.
Luca seemed preoccupied all night. She remained silent most of the time.
"Luca, what songs would you like to sing?" Nina's gaze fell on Luca.
Luca shook her head, "I can't sing either."
"Both of you can't sing? | don't believe it. Your voices are good. Don't be so shy," said Nina. Luca and Scarlett's
voices were gentle and pleasing to the ears.
Their voices were so melodious that it was enough to soften even the toughest of men.
"I'm tone-deaf," smiled Luca helplessly. She wasn't actually tone-deaf, but everyone had their own unique style
when singing.
Nina was too familiar with her singing habits. The way she sang vibrato, high notes, and falsetto...
They had known each other for a long time. Luca was reluctant to sing in front of her as she was worried that it
would remind Nina of Bianca...
Scarlett shrugged, too. Hmm, | can sing, but don't you laugh at me!"
"We're friends. How could | laugh at you? | don't sing well either," laughed Nina. Then, she proceeded to queue a
few popular songs.
As the introduction of the first song began to play, Luca looked at the big screen that was playing the music
video and realized it was a song by Annie Shaw.
Nina's voice was clear and pure. Singing Annie's song with her voice would be an entirely different experience.
Luca took a sip of the fruit juice and cheered on Nina and Scarlett as they sang.
Nina started to sing Annie's song.
Luca smiled. It was indeed beautiful. Even though Nina's voice was not as gentle as Annie's, it brought a touch of
personality to the song.
She could not help but sway along with the music.

Two of them were Russian, and the rest conversed in their language.
Luke was fluent in Russian, while Percy and Jim took Russian language classes before. Hence, there were no
language barriers to overcbetween them.
Luke had thoroughly inspected the private room for any bugs or monitoring devices before they met, assuring
everyone that they were safe to discuss their business here.
"How much information do you have on the Island of Despair now?" asked Kastov. He was introduced to Luke's
friends when they had dinner together earlier.
Jim was the only one whom the Island of Despair had not messed with. The others all bore a grudge against the
organization.
